Chapter 651 Pushing the boat along the water

"My son and minister saw my father and mother."

As soon as he turned the screen in front of the bedroom, he saw Queen Wu sitting on the couch and crying silently, while Gao Zong was like an ant on a hot pot, wandering around on the side. Obviously, he was dizzy by the crying of Queen Wu. Seeing that the situation was almost no different from what he had imagined, Li Xian couldn't help but He sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to be very rude. He walked to the bed and saluted respectfully.

"Ah, it's coming, no, no."

As soon as he saw that Li Xian had arrived, Gao Zong was embarrassed and couldn't help but feel relieved - although Gao Zong had not been ill these days, his body was weak, and he was also very tired and lazy to move. Not to mention the government, he did not even take a step at the door of the bedroom. Every day, except for meals, most of the time It was to curl up on the couch to read idle books to pass the time. Although today was early morning time, Gao Zong planned to go to court, but fell asleep on the bed until he was awakened by the arrival of Empress Wu. He couldn't help but wonder about the early end of the morning today. He asked by the question, but he didn't expect not to ask. Under this question, the Empress Wu could He began to cry. No matter how Gao Zong asked, persuaded him, and coaxed him, the Empress Wu did not open his mouth. She just sat there and burst into tears, which made Gao Zong panic. Fortunately, the arrival of Li Xian finally gave Gao Zong a chance to take a breath. Of course, he was embarrassed by his son. The embarrassment in Zong's heart is inevitable.

"Thank you for your father's kindness!"

Li Xian thanked him calmly and stood with his eyes hanging down, not looking up at Gao Zong's embarrassed face.

"Well, Xian'er, is it going well in the early morning today?"

I noticed that Li Xian's eyes did not fall on him. The embarrassment on Gao Zong's face not only did not diminish, but also a little more. After pondering for a long time, he barely suppressed the strong discomfort in his heart. With a slight hesitation, Gao Zong still asked hesitantly.

Huh? Why did the old man ask that? Hasn't the old thief sued the black man yet? No, this old thief had already expected that we would come. Oh, this is a pit waiting for us to jump!

As soon as he heard Gao Zong's strange question, Li Xian was only slightly stunned, and he understood that there was nothing. It was just a small wrist played by Queen Wu. It was just because today's morning incident was so noisy that no matter how much she concealed it, she could not guarantee that the story would not reach Gao Zong's ears. Since it was no longer possible Using the result of the court to suppress Gao Zong's agreement to send troops, the Empress Wu was left only to play the role of the aggrieved mother, so as to coerce Gao Zong to agree to his unreasonable requirements. The reason why the villain did not sue first is to play the aggrieved role more seriously. The reason is very simple. Open your mouth first. The interpreter must be in a state of attack. In such a situation, whoever opens his mouth to explain first will fall behind.

"If you go back to your father's words, the discussion did not go well. There were indeed some accidents."

Knowing that he had been ambushed by Queen Wu, Gao Zong had a question, but Li Xian could not help but answer. In addition to helplessness, he could only explain with a wry smile.

"Oh? What happened? Why is your mother..."

Gao Zong is not a fool. He had previously suspected that something had gone wrong in the early morning. At this time, when he saw Li Xian's face, how could he not guess that the mother and son must have made trouble in the early morning? In addition to a headache, he couldn't help but be a little happy. Just because this is the situation that Gao Zong hoped to see, it is nothing else, just because there is only the dynasty. With the balance of the situation, his throne can ensure that he is safe. Whether the Empress Dowager Wu is dominant or Li Xian is strong, it is an extremely dangerous thing for Gao Zong. Of course, whether it is a headache or a secret joy, it is time to ask, Gao Zong still has to ask.

"It is good for my father to know that the matter is like this. At the beginning of the early morning, Qingyuan Wanqing of Hongyu Temple has taken the lead in this chapter to ask for help for the Prince of Persia. In order to fight or not to fight, all the ministers and workers hold their own opinions and can't hold each other. The Empress Wu then asked the advice to the child. The minister said: The father has already made a decision on this, and the ministers do not Dare to violate it. The mother was tempted by Jia Chaoyin and others. She insisted on asking her ministers to lead the army to go on an expedition. The child was frightened and did not dare to respond to the order. She only said that if she got the father's edict, the child should plan for it herself. The mother complained that the child did not obey, so she was angry and stopped the court. All kinds of things were children's faults and failed to overcome filial piety, which made the mother sad. In fact, it was not Well, it's just an important matter for the military and the country. I really don't dare to take it lightly. It's better to be decided by my father.

Knowing that the Empress Wu was pricking up her ears and preparing to pick her own language, but in the face of Gao Zong's question, Li Xian had no choice but to answer. In desperation, he could only briefly state what happened in the court. Of course, it is inevitable to plead herself for her guilt, but she also did not forget to point out Queen Wu. He is rude and unreasonable.

"Absurd! I have long said that the matter of Persia is natural. Yuan Wanqing dares to bully me. It's really abominable. I can't forgive it!"

Gao Zong is not stupid. When he saw that Empress Wu and Li Xian fought too much this time, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Just because he wanted the balance of the court, not the fierce fight between the mother and son. Now that he is so laughed at by the courtiers, Gao Zong's face can't be lost. It's just a beloved son, and the other is Wife, Gao Zong scolded anyone, so he could only catch Yuan Wanqing, the originator, and scold him. It was clear that he wanted to expose the matter vaguely.

"Woo-woo..."

Although Gao Zong's mind was good, it was a pity that Queen Wu did not intend to appreciate it. As soon as Gao Zong's words fell, Queen Wu's crying sounded.

"Mei Niang, I, I, I..."

When Empress Wu cried like this, Gao Zong's true nature of fear was immediately exposed. He was at a loss and stammered. He didn't know what he was saying. As for the previous anger, it had already disappeared without a trace.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is incompetent, I can't worry about your majesty, my concubine, woo-woo..."

Gao Zong was in such a mess that the Queen of Wu's crying was immediately a little louder. Under the tears, it really seemed that she had been greatly wronged.

"What is Mei Niang saying? How can I blame you? Oh, don't cry, don't cry. Isn't it just the restoration of the country in Persia? Let's talk about it again. It's a little thing. Why is it like this?"

Gao Zong himself is addicted to using foreign troops. Since he came to power, he has fought a lot. The reason why he refused the request of the Persian king and his son is not that he did not want to fight, but that he has a long way to go. Even if he wins the battle, it is not of much benefit to the Tang Dynasty itself. Only then did he refuse to send troops. At this time, he was so noisy by the Empress Wu, and his heart was already in a mess. In order to stabilize the Empress Wu, he was slightly relieved.

"Father, Sheng Ming, the child also thinks that the matter of the restoration of Persia should be discussed again."

Gao Zong's heart has not changed. The reason why he was slightly relieved was that he just interrupted the quarrel of coaxing Wuhou first, but it was just a stopgap measure. However, for Li Xian, it was a good opportunity to push the boat smoothly. He refused to let it go and hurriedly praised it.

Being suddenly knocked by Li Xian, not only Gao Zong was stunned, but also the Empress Wu, who was crying, was also suffocated. The gradually crying suddenly became weak because of the weakness.

"Hian'er, what does this mean?"

Gao Zong thought that Li Xian had an anti-war attitude, but when he heard Li Xian's words, he didn't seem to be a little confused. After not being able to appease Wu again, he looked at Li Xian suspiciously and asked hesitantly.

"Father Mingjian, the mother wants to help the Persians restore the country, is out of consideration of promoting the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. The starting point is good, and my ministers also think it should be like this. The former Han Dynasty is not as strong as our Tang Dynasty, especially dares to exhale: Those who offend my strong Han will be killed even if they are far away! Today, our Tang Dynasty is far superior to that of all dynasties. The front of the soldiers is invincible. It is really not enough to pay for it. Those who care about it are just a long way, and it is not conducive to the stalemate. If he really wants to fight, the child has a personal choice and will be qualified for the responsibility of the unified army!"

The Persian Gulf is naturally to be occupied. Li Xian has been laying out this matter for a long time, and has long been thinking about when to do it. Originally, according to Li Xian's plan, it should first bring down Wuhou, stabilize the domestic situation, and then start to do it. However, since Wu Hou intends to do something about this matter, Li Xian did not There is only one person who opposes doing it in advance, that is, Li Xian will never leave the court at this critical moment. In addition, everything is easy to say.

"Well, Xian'er's words are reasonable, but the soldiers will come out? Where does the weight of grain come from?

If he can really win in a fierce battle, Gao Zong will not have much opposition, but he does not hold the bottom in his heart. Therefore, he did not ask the leader selection recommended by Li Xian, but asked the most critical issue of military sources and grain. After all, the disaster situation in Henan and Hebei has just been dealt with, and the court really has not much left to adjust. Used.

"Father, the soldier has a saying: There are no more soldiers but a fine. It seems that this expedition to the far west. If there are more soldiers, it will be wrong. In the child's opinion, if Lin Chengbin, the deputy governor of Hexi, leads 20,000 people to go on an expedition, it is enough to flatten a country in Persia. As for the weight of grain, it is necessary for Hexi to bear it alone."

Li Xian had already planned the expedition and knew it very well. At this time, he heard Gao Zong's question and answered quickly.

"Well, well..."

Gao Zong had a lot of scruples about Li Xian's grasp of Hexi, and he had already had the intention to slowly adjust the civil and military officials in Hexi. At this time, when he heard Li Xian's statement, he couldn't help but be a little moved, but he was worried that Li Xian was the opposite, so he meditated and didn't dare to make a decision easily...
